Salicutti Rosso di Montalcino 2014
$66
Description
This is a Brunello-designated vineyard, so Salicutti’s Rosso is essentially a Brunello that spent six months less in oak and less time in bottle than is legally required to be Brunello di Montalcino.
Initially in a line-up with several Rosso’s I missed the finesse that Salicutti’s wines exude. It’s a common problem in wine shows when your tasting too quickly and have a poised, sophisticated wine sandwiched between a couple of super-ripe ‘blockbusters’. I came back to the line up over dinner, the time in glass and a slightly more patient approach to trying the wines saw the Salicutti shine through. Soon enough the ultimate test showed that everyone around the table had finished it first and gone for a repour!
A classic. The perfect way to get your eye in before their 2013 Brunellos hit the deck over the coming months.
